Re: Marc Gasol?

Could they play well together? They are both great passers. No I take that back, Gasol is a great passer, Roy is very good. Offensively they would be fine together. I would worry about defense. But I suppose they could play together around 25 minutes a game and we could always have one or the other on the court at all times.

And with just min played he ranks 12th I think.Some off the top of my head would be Howard, Noah, NeNe, Bynum, Jefferson, Horford, Chandler...

Howard and Horford I agree on, but I don't see any of those guys as being measurably better than Gasol. Noah is possibly the most overrated center in the league, Nene isn't the defender Gasol is, Bynum has rocks in his head and can't stay off the trainer's table, Jefferson isn't really a center, and Chandler has no offensive game.

Re: Marc Gasol?

Gasol is really good IMO he was as big a reason why the Grizzlies made it to the Western Semi-finals as any player on that team.

From what I have read....one of the main reasons is because ZBo was finally surrounded by a Starting lineup of Defensive minded Players...which essentially allowed ZBo to score and focus on offense while the rest of his teammates in the starting lineup....Tony Allen/Battier/Marc...focused on covering ZBo's defensive liabilities.

Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.

This is David West, he is the Honey Badger, West just doesn't give a *****....he's pretty bad *ss cuz he has no regard for any other Player or Team whatsoever.

I'm trying to talk myself into it.

Gasol 32 mins
Roy 30 mins
Tyler 27
Jeff 7

Ya, I just don't know...

Its looks okay on paper, but then when you have to play guys together on the floor, its tough.

It seems like, if they try this, they are completely building to try to match up with Chicago moving forward (also getting George Hill). I think this would actually work against the Bulls, not sure about the rest of the league.

Re: Marc Gasol?

Dan Wolken: Heard from a source the Pacers could be making a huge play for Marc Gasol. Could put Griz in tough spot. Twitter

Iím told, for example, that Indiana -- one team that really hasnít been mentioned as a potential suitor for the Spaniard -- rates Gasol above Nene and is strongly weighing whether to slap an offer sheet down for him. ESPN.com

Re: Marc Gasol?

I watched all of the Grizzlies playoff games last year and IMO Gasol was their most valuable player. he's the type of player that when he goes to the bench you wonder why the team isn't playing as well (and you then realize it is because gasol is not in the game). Gasol IMO was their glue last season - he made his teammates better. Grizzlies will not give him up without a fight
